Dry Docking

With professional planning, preparation and execution, we make dry docking predictable and efficient.

Dry-docking is one of the most important activity in a vessel's lifecycle. Every vessel is required to dry dock at least once every 5 years. 

We identify objectives by engaging stakeholders, preparing comprehensive specifications and executing the project according to plan. This way, we minimise unplanned expenses and ensure high quality.

Dry-docking requires extensive preparation and planning so it is better to leave it to experts. If poorly managed, the expenses and time can escalate and important defects may not be identified and corrected.
